Enjoy your trip to the Roaring Twenties!
A couple people have mentioned being here in the last couple days. Of course, that made me feel guilty for not making any entries - so, here I am.
Update on my writing life. Eye of the Beholder, the project I call Ugly Hero, tied for second place in San Francisco's Heart to Heart contest in the historical category. I've just spent the last month tidying up the manuscript for that one, and farmed it out to a few friends for critiquing. The general consensus is that it has way too much story before the hero and heroing meet and someone suggested a way to lop off a bunch of pages, yet still have the story make sense. So, I'll have to get to that.
But, not right now. Because I've got a new plot bunny bouncing around my head that demanded to be let out. So I'm writing something new and having way too much fun doing it. Unlike most of my other stuff, this story isn't set in the 1920's, but is kind of a fantasy/time travel thing based on the Greek myth of Hades abducting Persephone with a bit of a modern twist.
I spent the month of august working on a different project. That one was a contemporary. I got about 40K into the story when my heroine turned into an annoying pain in the butt, so I temporarily abandoned the project for a later time when I feel like doctoring the whole thing up. Don't know when exactly that's going to be though.
